Naw — I haven’t tried to tame them. I keep thinking that I could, and it would make things easier. Right now I have to set something out and then wait for them to get used to it and get over the nervousness. That’s why I was laying on the floor for 45 minutes. That was actually a lot quicker than it usually is. Maybe because it was so close to dark, that they were in a hurry to be doneâ€Â¦?

this is an amazing shot ..
and after reading your notes i realize just how amazing it is ..
not only to get the squirrel in the perfect pose but getting everything else perfect too ..
i do agree with Gaby about being an insane bunch of ppl .. i suppose being dedicated .. obsessed .. keen .. motivated .. and really really excited by the act of anything would tend to make those ppl look a bit crazy by other ppl's standards ..
my family and friends just dont get it .. why i love photography so much ..
anyway .. CONGRATULATIONS on an incredible shot ... and of course top five .. :)

As I said, can't believe how "obliging" your squirrels are :-). So, so cute. Congrats. Hope lying on the cold floor didn't give you a cold ... The longer I am a photographer, the more I know that we are truly an insane bunch of people :-).
